Re: Argument from Authority
We all seem to be arguing that if he did actually say this that it somehow means a darn thing.
What we would need to do is actually see the "good case" spelled out to decide if it is in any way "good". Since no one has supplied that this argument is a waste of time.
Dawkins has published much concerning biological First Cause (see The Blind Watchmaker 1986). In this book he, in no uncertain terms, dismisses Deity initiated First Cause.
While he is free to change his position he hasn't. The article is sensationalism.
